Easy Eggs in Clouds Recipe

Meringue fans, say hello to these puffy eggs in clouds with a sunshine-yellow center.

If you like your eggs over easy, then you will love these fluffy eggs in clouds with oozy yolks! The light and airy egg white base has a whipped marshmallow-meets-meringue texture for a unique twist on baked eggs.

These eggs in clouds are a cinch to make. First, separate four egg whites from the yolks. Using an electric hand mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This is the secret to cloud egg success! The egg whites need to be firm enough to hold their shape when baked.

Gently fold crumbled bacon and chopped chives into the egg whites, then form the cloud nests by mounding four spoonfuls onto a prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to make a dent in the middle of each mound. Bake for three minutes, then add the yolks to the dents. Bake for a few more minutes, or until the egg whites turns golden brown and the yolks are slightly set.

These baked eggs in clouds are an easy way to feed a large brunch crowd – just double or triple the ingredients as necessary. Serve them as they are, or use as a topping for salads or slices of Paleo toast.
